I have no clue why telegram is often mentioned when it comes to “privacy focused messaging”. They don’t even have e2e encrypted group chats. Only 1:1 chats may be encrypted as an opt-in. Even WhatsApp is more secure than that, since they use signals encryption.

Also the “we don’t give out even a byte of data to anyone” statements made by telegram have been thoroughly debunked as lies. When telegrams bottom line is in danger, they have and will give out your data.

Same here

Audioslave was pretty good too and I also like some nightwatchman stuff, but the three albums he put out as “Tom Morello” (The Atlas Underground Series) are just something else. They basically sound like a compilation of his favorite artists in a 1000 different genres and he overdubbed the whole thing with some guitar riffs.

Sure there might be a decent track here or there (but mostly because of strong guest performances), but other than that the albums are an unfocussed mess. IMO.

If only his solo music was as good as his politics. The difference in quality between his work with RATM and his solo output is mind boggling.

What’s your cutoff year for reading books?

No one else has a cutoff year. People have a cutoff quality and if an AI slop book doesn’t pass the quality gate, they’ll stop reading it.

With some configuration management tools like ansible you don’t even need root privs to manage your users environment and keep everything neat and consistent.
